Here is part of a 6/30/68 article from the Daily Herald:

Addison’s newest outdoor theater, the Ski-Hi Drive-in on Rt. 53 two blocks north of North Avenue, opened Friday. The theater lot accommodates 2,200 cars on 25 blacktopped acres in a complex that cost more than $1 5 million. It is the only blacktopped theater in the Chicago metropolitan area.

The theater will show two completely independent programs on each screen every week The self-service refreshment stand is air-conditioned Built by the L Robert Jelmek family, the theater will be managed by the M & R Corp , as is the Jehnek’s Dundale Theater in Dundee. The Jelmek family pioneered in the drive-in theater business when they built the original Ski Hi Drive-In theater in Elmhurst 20 years ago. The original theater was taken by the state for highway purposes.

It says “Newly Remodeled and Embellished”. They must have done some work on the theater at that time. Here is an April 1967 ad from the Lima News:
